WINTER PARK LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

The Winter Park Library began when nine women, all "well educated, capable, energetic, and affluent, came together on the morning of December 9, 1885, to affix the stamp of organization to the Winter Park Circulating Library Association." The nine women were: Mrs. Elizabeth Hooker, Miss Evaline Lamson, Mrs. W.O. Cady, Miss Mary McClure, Miss Alice Guild, Mrs. C.J. Ladd, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Cook, and Miss Mary Brown. The Congregational Church parsonage was the site for the organizational meeting... Over a century ago, a group of determined women established this library, and today, we continue in much the same spirit. The Winter Park Library remains steadfast in its mission to guide learning, connect people, and strengthen the community... Describes who we are, mission, nonprofit status, etc.
